It’s February, so for St. Valentine’s Day this year, I looked back through my emails from fans and followers for an idea that might suit the Valentine’s Day theme. What did I come up with?

A babydoll pajama!

Made to Move Barbie is wearing a cotton Babydoll pajama top with shorts, but the shorts cannot be seen as the camera angle is above her head a bit. The pajama uses lace and a heart-shaped button. She also wears felt slippers. The cotton pajama is decorated with cupcakes. Behind her is a wall that appears to be decorated with unicorns, rainbows, stars, and glitter... themes reminiscent of the dreamscape.

When I went back to my emails and blog surveys, I discovered there were a fair number of requests for pajama sets for Barbie, Skipper, and similar 1:6 scale dolls. There was one request for Monster High PJ’s as well.
